Chinese President Xi Jinping attended a high-profile welcome dinner in San Francisco on Wednesday, spotlighting cross-Pacific collaboration amid global economic and cultural shifts. 🌉 The event, hosted by US business and civic leaders, emphasized shared goals in trade, climate action, and people-to-people exchanges.
